There are several common ways that criminals gain access to your information to steal your identity and commit fraud; in particular, phishing and vishing.

Phishing is the social engineering tactic used by criminals to deceive someone via email to divulge personal information. Phishers create links that look legitimate but instead direct you to malicious websites when you select them.

Vishing is the social engineering tactic used by criminals to deceive someone over the telephone to divulge personal information. Vishers attempt to impersonate your bank or credit company to trick you into divulging personal information.

How to protect yourself…

Never reply to emails or text messages that request personal information

Type the website in to the browser manually, without using a link

Look closely at unexpected messages with links

Use mobile apps to avoid links in emails

Never divulge personal information over an unsolicited phone call; call your bank or credit company directly
